[Lücking / Lohmann / Staubach] Hollow pain Cutting straight in my flesh Something's diggin' it's way through me Silent scream Waiting to be torn apart A nightmare becomes reality Defenceless at the mercy of the Gods in white Trusting blind, 'cause I fear the black demon inside [Refrain:] Inertia - who's gonna let me fall asleep? Inertia - who's gonna bring me back to life? I cannot move Congealed in liquid fear To be damned in suffering Inertia Embraced by solitude And betrayed by the living Helpless - awake in darkness - does really nobody care ? I feel so insecure, this is more than I can bear [Refrain:] Inertia - who's gonna let me fall asleep? Inertia - who's gonna bring me back to life? Inertia - who's gonna let me fall asleep? Inertia - who's gonna bring me back to life? Please, let me fall asleep And bring me back to life Drifting awake - will I be purified ? Drifting away on a dark velvet stream Will you hold me tight ? [Solo: Gerd Lücking] [Refrain:] Inertia - who's gonna let me fall asleep? Inertia - who's gonna bring me back to life? Inertia - who's gonna let me fall asleep? Inertia - who's gonna bring me back to life? I'm dying inside out

[Lohmann / Lücking / Staubach] Helpless Eyes are burning in frozen fire My ears are locked in squealing pain Losing control, I'm screaming in vain [Refrain:] I don't fear death - I'm afraid to die Lost in myself with blinded eyes Trapped! Breathless Everything is hazy around me My mouth is retching moaning darkness Reducing me to a trembling mass [Refrain:] I don't fear death - I'm afraid to die Lost in myself with blinded eyes I don't fear death - I'm afraid to die Lost in myself with blinded eyes Trapped under the sword of destiny Hundreds of graveyards, a funeral in my head When it's time - it's time Who will stop the world and give me shelter ? Chase the demon and set me free ... Claustrophobia [Solo: Oliver Lohmann] [Refrain:] I don't fear death - I'm afraid to die Lost in myself with blinded eyes I don't fear death - I'm afraid to die Lost in myself with blinded eyes Trapped

[Lohmann / Mischon / Staubach] How much more pain do I have to suffer ? How many more prayers do I have to speak ? How much more pain do I have to suffer, before you'll release me ? [Bridge:] Feel the shades - shades of my hope slippering through my hands, it slowly dies Feel the shades - shades of my dreams in my arms and I couldn't avert It vanished like an hour-glass [Refrain:] These are the days that I die - and I just fade away All of my dreams swept aside - and I just fade away - again How many more times do I have to die ? How many more times must I drown myself ? How many more times do I have to die, before I can live again ?? [Bridge:] Feel the shades - shades of my hope slippering through my hands, it slowly dies Feel the shades - shades of my dreams in my arms and I couldn't avert It vanished like an hour-glass [Refrain:] These are the days that I die - and I just fade away All of my dreams swept aside - and I just fade away [Solo: Oliver Lohmann] Shades of my dreams - It slowly dies - It vanished like an hour-glass Feel the shades [Refrain:] These are the days that I die - and I just fade away All of my dreams swept aside - and I just fade away These are the days that I die - and I just fade away All of my dreams swept aside - and I just fade away again

[Mischon / Staubach] If one of us should die to keep us alive I'm not afraid to leave My spirit remains, we share this sacrifice You're a part of my fate [Refrain:] Together as one, different minds A merger by separation Always dreamt to set us free For one of us this dream comes true Can I deal with death which makes me survive ? Forever still in you [Refrain:] Together as one, different minds A merger by separation Together as one, different souls A merger by separation We have been torn apart Together as one When I close my eyes, I see myself in you Always remember we shall meet at the end of the circle [Solo: Gerd Lücking / Oliver Lohmann] [Refrain:] Together as one, different minds A merger by separation Together as one, different souls A merger by separation

[Lohmann / Staubach] The scent of death is haunting me Swallowed up from the inside Invisible enemy - parasite Blinded by paranoia, nutriment for the disease Nobody's save, there are no guarantees ! [Bridge:] Why can't I hear myself screaming in silence ? I listen to me, try to understand myself but I can't hear the answer [Refrain:] Oh, I fear the unknown, fear what I can't see Oh, I fear the invisible enemy Sinister ghosts are whispering, dying in great pain Black death of the 20th century, I'm drivin' insane [Bridge:] Why can't I hear myself screaming in silence ? I listen to me, try to understand myself but I can't hear the answer [Refrain:] Oh, I fear the unknown, fear what I can't see Oh, I fear the invisible enemy Oh, I fear the unknown, fear what I can't see Oh, I fear the invisible enemy Oh - why can't I be silent to hear what I've to tell me ? [Solo: Oliver Lohmann] [Refrain:] Oh, I fear the unknown, fear what I can't see Oh, I fear the invisible enemy Oh, I fear the unknown, fear what I can't see Oh, I fear the invisible enemy Invisible enemy Invisible - invincible

[Lohmann / Staubach] [Solo: Gerd Lücking] All over the world they knew my name Adored like Gods, sons of fortune Remember my walk of fame Cherished by the audience Whatever I did, I won the game [Bridge:] Riding the wave of celebrity, dive into oblivion Drowning in the shadow of a black box, emerge to the limelight Reflections of my shattered life How could it have come to this ? Memories make my heart bleed I lost track of things The spell is broken, welcome to reality [Refrain:] When you've fallen for seven times - I've been tortured Got to get up eight times - I've been tortured by memories [Solo: Oliver Lohmann] After all the ups and downs, I'll be back again What doesn't kill me makes me stronger Break through the darkness - lock up the past I am - I'm real - I am the one who's [Bridge:] Riding the wave of celebrity, dive into oblivion Drowning in the shadow of a black box, emerge to the limelight [Refrain:] When you've fallen for seven times - I've been tortured Got to get up eight times - I've been tortured by memories Memories of your faces, your screams, the thrill each time I met you I want it back The more time passes, the more I miss what I had I want it back again [Solo: Oliver Lohmann] [Bridge:] Riding the wave of celebrity, dive into oblivion Drowning in the shadow of a black box, emerge to the limelight [Refrain:] When you've fallen for seven times - I've been tortured Got to get up eight times - I've been tortured by memories I have been tortured ... I have been tortured by memories

[Lücking / Lohmann / Staubach] Go! Now here I stand amongst my unfulfilled dreams Black ghosts of my past surround me I'm awakening out of nothing Without a destination, without a memory [Solo: Oliver Lohmann] Here I stand lonely with my life Nothing lasts for eternity I'm betraying myself, I'm deceiving myself How much longer can I lie to me ? [Refrain:] All these years have passed - for all the undone things I grieve All these years have passed me by - who am I ? what did I achieve ? Now here I stand amongst my wasted opportunities All my sacrifice was in vain If I look at this face in the mirror now I don't know this man - I feel ashamed [Refrain:] All these years have passed ' for all the undone things I grieve All these years have passed me by ' who am I ? what did I achieve ? Who am I ? what did I achieve ? Oh, what if I could turn back the time [Solo: Oliver Lohmann] [Refrain:] All these years have passed - for all the undone things I grieve All these years have passed me by - who am I ? what did I achieve ? All these years have passed - for all the undone things I grieve All these years have passed me by - who am I ? what did I achieve ? Who am I ? what did I achieve ? who am I ? what did I achieve ?

[Lohmann / Lücking / Staubach / Mischon] Do not press me, don't judge about the way I've gone Do not decide about my life - ha ha It's me - possessed by the demon, welcome to schizophrenia Black cat on my shoulder, I'm gripped in paranoia Do not push me, don't moan about the things I've done Do not damage my strength Walking on a thin line, one step closer to insanity No remorse and no regret, who ever cared about me ?
